Not the biggest bird but one of the prettiest I’ve seen… The kiddo worked hard for 6 days hunting pressured, paranoid public land birds. Got outsmarted by one cagey tom 4 days in a row, had several others that hung up just out of range only to be dragged away by hens, but eventually took a big jake we both thought was a tom when it first came in. Nearly an 8″ beard and spurs not nubs, but the tail fan says jake all the way.
It was a blast spending the time together. I’m not eating tag soup yet but the kid keeps threatening to boil the water for me. I need to get after it…
Regards
